COME WITH THOSE CARDS ON FLASHPOINT, JUST TUNE IN THIS SUNDAY MORNING AT 8:00. WELL, BURGERS AND WINGS BEACHSIDE. TONIGHT WE VISIT A BREVARD COUNTY SPORTS BAR THAT IS AS UNIQUE AS IT IS CLEAN. INSPECTORS GAVE IT A PERFECT INSPECTION. ERIK von ANCKEN TAKES US "BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR" OF THE TIME-OUT SPORTS BAR IN COCOA BEACH. TIMEOUT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMEOUTS OVER THE YEARS WITH DIFFERENT OWNERS AND DIFFERENT IDEAS. IT SEEMS NOW, THOUGH, THEY'RE ALL IN WITH OWNERS WHO HAVE INVESTED IN MAKING THE PLACE NEW, CLEAN AND GETTING IT RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO TAKE A TIMEOUT TO FIND THIS SPORTS BAR ALONG A1A IN COCOA BEACH, TUCKED AWAY INSIDE THE LA QUINTA. UPSTAIRS. BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO INSPECTORS, IT IS WORTH THE TRIP. THE ADDRESS IS 1275 ATLANTIC AVENUE AND FOR THE PAST TWO VISITS IN A ROW, INSPECTORS GAVE IT A PERFECT SCORE. BURGERS ARE FANTASTIC. THE WINGS ARE TO DIE FOR. THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HOTEL AND HE REMEMBERS THE OLD SPORTS BAR. THAT'S WHY HE'S VERY PROUD OF THE NEW OWNERSHIP. THEY'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB OF REALLY STEPPING IN, MAKING THIS SOMETHING THE LOCALS WANT TO COME AND HANG OUT. TREVOR TOOK ME BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR AND SHOWED ME WHAT IMPRESSED THE INSPECTORS. THE CLEANLINECLEANLINESS. HE POINTED OUT THE HIGH POINTS. THE GREASELESS FRYER IS A BIG DEAL. IT'S A FULLY ENCLOSED UNIT THAT HAS ALL THE GREASE, EVERYTHING BUILT INTO IT. AND FLAT-SCREEN TVs EVERYWHERE, EVEN CUSTOM-MADE BEER PONG TABLES. TUCKED IN HERE READY TO GO. CUSTOM-MADE FOR THIS BAR. BUT TREVOR SAYS FOR AS GOOD AS THIS PLACE LOOKS, IT'S ONLY AS GOOD AS THE STAFF. THEY ARE THE ONES, HE INSISTS, WHO EARNED THIS PERFECT INSPECTION. IF THERE'S A RESTAURANT YOU'VE VISITED RECENTLY THAT IS EITHER EXTREMELY CLEAN OR INCREDIBLY DIRT GO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE AND TELL ME ABOUT IT. I'M AT FACEBOOK.COM/ERIK von ANCKEN.
